Favorite Feature:
The zip in the 3.5 L 24 valve SOHC engine. It is a pleasure to be able to put your foot in it and get the desired response.
Least Favorite Feature:
The breaking system leaves a little to be desired. I have found the breaks to be sufficient when I had to stop quickly , however they are very soft.
Advice to Buyer:
This is vehicle is perfect for the working man that wants to transform himself into Luxury at the end of a hard days work. It is affordable for the middle of the road family , but offers just the right amount of style that says' you have finally made it'
Detailed Review:
When I first test drove the Diamante I was immediatly impressed with the power under my right foot. The 3.5L engine was a nice surprise. Compared to the Lexus I drove the Diamante was far more responsive. I also had the opportunity to test drive an Acura and Audi. The have nothing on the Diamante as far as style, comfort and drive. I did find the Diamante to be a little mushy in the break department. Overall I found the car to be very acceptable.
